HOUSTON, TX – A father has been charged with felony murder following a car wreck on Texas 249 on the night of Monday, May 18, according to The Houston Chronicle.
Eric Bahr was driving with his daughter and the wife of his child on the highway near Lakewood Crossing when he lost control of his car and crashed into a light pole. Melissa Wendt, the child’s mother, was declared dead at the scene.
